I have been wanting to get around to this for a while, building my own computer that it is, and I honestly don't know all that much about computers, so any advice is appreciated here are the parts I have picked out :

Graphics Card:
EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1573-AR GeForce GTX 570 HD w/Display-Port (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Power:
SILVERSTONE Strider Essential series ST70F-ES 700W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Processor:

So that, Windows 7, and a Asus driver come to just below $1300 (Canadian)
Can anyone give me some advice on this? I think it is a pretty decent build, has everything everyone looks for.
*I am buying from a Canadian Shop so prices may be slightly different, but everything pretty much equals out.

System looks good, but here are my 2 cents:

You don't need a 700w psu, 600W will be MORE than enough, see if you can get a 80plus Silver or Gold (more efficient).

Secondly, I would recommend upgrading your graphics card to a current generation card e.g. AMD 7870, AMD 7950 or GTX670 if you can stretch your budget.

Looks good. Only thing as zander mentioned, upgrade the the VGA. You got a "K" series, assuming you are looking at overclocking. So, you can keep if you are looking at overclocking and Xfir/SLi with enough juice.

Alright, I will look into my options for a better graphics card, seeing as I am pushing my budget as it is, might as well go full out. And yumj could you give some examples of what to look for when getting a cpu? I got a K series because it has been recommended over the i7 ones.
